Hi,

I need to clarify some doubts in here..

A frend of mine bought an SP from this bikeshop (shall hold back the name for now)

So, being a 2nd hand bike, we expected all the usual problems.. like flat batt, worn out brake pads etc..

 

So there was this day we brought my frend's bike to another motortiam to get his brakepads changed when the mech there noticed that my frend's fork was misaligned. So he suggested we press it back. And so we agreed to....

By the way, this had to be done because the clearence between the front wheel and the fairing was very minimal, I couldnt even fit my index finger inbetween.

 

Very foolish of us as we happened to overlook this part when purchasing the bike..

So heres the shocker, when we went to recollect my frend's bike, the mech told us that the forks were perfect but it was the chasis thats misaligned !!!

 

Now we all know how much of a serious problem that is...

I've heard ppl saying that if the chasis is damaged it is better off that the bike be scrapped ... so on and so forth.. but hell, this bike was bought only 2 mths back..

Please also keep in mind that it is dangerous to ride the bike fast as in the event of the front wheel coming into contact with the fairing the result would be....well near fatal or just fatal. Maybe i'm just exaggerating but an accident is definitely bound to happen...

 

Well, my grievance against the bikeshop is how could they even sell off a bike thats not road worthy to an unwary customer?

Its about life and death actually... and I'm very disappointed as the bikeshop is 'quite' reputable... not blacklisted here as far as i can recall..

 

So we're in a very difficult situation right now. We thought of heading back to the bikeshop this Sat and ask them for an explanation. I was wondering whether they would even allow my poor friend to swap for another bike...

 

The reason being why i posted this here is because we're quite helpless and it'd be great if anyone with similar experience could guide us or tell us on what we could do next...

And also whether we could take any legal actions against the shop....and if we could, how should we go about doing it (assuming a worst case scenario)

I think it's good that u indicate which particular shop that is, so ppl ard here will be more careful with the shop. It's by no means blacklisting the shop, but letting ppl be on their guard. Anyway if it's really the shop fault and u can prove it, bring the case to C.A.S.E. Maybe they can help.

Pardon me for not revealing the bikeshop's as I tink it wud be a decision made too hastily.

Maybe lets wait and see what they've got to say when both my frend and I go down this Saturday..

Besides, I might just get entangled by some legal issues.

As for CASE, are they really any good? In what way would reporting to CASE benefit my frend?

I thought of going to the press if the situation turns out bad...

[Awin]

The price which ur mech quote is the same as what i pay for a full service on my sp last time..Actually the parts is cheap, just that he have to open up the whole engine inorder to access the problem..Why not u send it for a full service and point out the problem to the mech?

( after macRitchie res) , u go over a flyover, then turn right at the junction ( u will see shell on ur right at the junction, ride carefully coz u need to filter left).. then filter left the upcoming junction.... and go straight all the way...pass, one, two, three, junctions.... and shift right lane when u see yio chu kang mrt frm far.... den u turn right at the junction and grassroots is juz a stone's throw away...

an easier way to grassroot club at yck(by the way, it's along amk ave 8)

 

CTE all the way, exit amk ave 5. turn left and proceed straight until u c nyp.

den be prepared to turn right into amk ave 8 when u reach the mrt track.

 

the entrance to the club is in btw the yck bus terminal and nyp side entrance. keep a lookout for it. it's on the right side(left side is anderson junior college).

 

i dun tink u can make a right turn into the club. make a u-turn or wad lor...tat 1 u figure it out urself.

 

another way is to travel along dunearn road...make a left turn to thomson road and proceed straight until u reach amk ave 6...den make a right turn into amk ave 8....the club will be on the left side.

oh and i like pudding.

The problem is the poor guy had already been "cheated" by the motordiam, how can u undo everything? Ur advice are for those ppl who still making decisions... C.A.S.E may not be able to do much, but at least there's a small hope. Btw can't mention shop names now, later ganna sue then not good. Now can only hope he has better luck with the shop...
